The compressor start relay attaches to the compressor in your refrigerator. If your refrigerator will not start, one of the most common parts to fail is the compressor start relay. Sometimes called the controller, this device is used to boost the compressor until the unit is running. Other common symptoms connected to start relays include: refrigerator will not start, will not cool, is making a clicking, humming or buzzing sound, or the compressor itself is warm to the touch. You may also smell a burnt plastic odor if the relay has failed. Shake the relay and listen for any rattling, as this is a sign that it is faulty.

The compressor would not run.
I removed the cover, used a multimeter to test the compressor circuit, and found the compressor start relay to be defective.
Ordered a new one and installed it when it arrived.

NOT COOLING
First download schematic from frigidaire.com and watch a few youtube videos on fixing refrigerators .At first my guess was the timer was stuck on the defrost mode .However after studying the schematic I checked to see if the power was being sent to the compressor through the starter ptc .The 110 v was there after pulling off the conne

ctor .Also the condenser fan was on confirming this . however the compressor was stone cold .the compressor has 3 inputs whose resistances across all seemed good (see youtube videos) so it was probably the ptc starter or the 15microfarad capacitor .I changed the capacitor first -not the problem .then the ptc starter .immediatey the compressor started warming and after a few minutes cold air was being blown in .Very satisfying !

This refrigerator compressor is a key component in the cooling system, responsible for compressing and circulating refrigerant gas throughout the appliance. It increases the pressure and temperature of the gas before sending it through the condenser coils, where heat is released and the gas condenses into a liquid. The refrigerant then travels to the evaporator, where it expands and evaporates, creating a cooling effect that is distributed throughout the refrigerator. A malfunctioning compressor can lead to poor cooling performance or complete system failure. Proper lubrication and cooling are essential for maintaining its efficiency and extending the life of your appliance.

Keep your refrigerator or freezer running efficiently with this complete compressor kit. The compressor serves as the heart of the cooling system, pressurizing and circulating refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser coils to maintain consistent internal temperatures. This kit includes all essential components for installation, such as the compressor, start relay, capacitor, filter drier, drain pan, tubing extensions, thermal mastic, and a label. Operating on 100–115 volts at 50/60 Hz and using R134A refrigerant, it’s designed for reliable performance. Replacing the compressor may resolve issues like the appliance not starting, inconsistent cooling, or unusual noises. For safety, always disconnect power before installation and follow proper handling guidelines.

The start relay boosts the compressor, and then shuts off as soon as the motor gets up to speed and the overload provides extra protection against excessive temperatures.
